Only one answer please. Not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that represents the rock.
My choice: Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Reasons: - first notes are like the 5th of Beethoven (when you hear those notes, everybody pumps up the volume) - still very up to date - a mix of rock and blues rock and Motown sound - lyrics talks about disatisfaction of young people vs life, politics, money and women (even B Dylan like that song) - music is very basic as a good rock song should be
With lyrics with real life meaning for the average, and brrrrrrilliant music, Its gotta be 'WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN by 'THE WHO' (Moon/Ent/Dalt/Town), sung and played with all the verve, nerve, REAL anger, angst, deprivation, desperation that the yooth of the day suffered. AWESOME. Rock is Energy. Compare 'THE WHO' verses 'The Rolling stones'. One band are slippers, pipe and armchair, the other is sheer 100% maniacal energy! IMHO, naturally.
